Olio is a food sharing app which enables people to share unwanted food. Volunteers are also involved who go round to stores to collect food like sandwiches, hot food etc. The foods are posted online for people to see and make a request.

OLIO links neighbours with each other and with local businesses so that surplus food can be shared, not thrown away. Any food nearing its sell-by date in local stores can be shared this way. OLIO can also be used for non-food household items too.


OLIO is super easy! To make an item available, simply open the app, add a photo, description, and when and where the item is available for pick-up.

To access items, simply browse the listings available near you, request any listing.' A map gives you an idea of the proximity of pick up.

Businesses are registering in order to reduce waste whilst enabling people get acccess to quality food in some cases.

Pret A Manger, EAT, Costa, Planet organic are some the businesses that allow their leftovers to be shared this way. Leftovers doesn't mean half eaten food. It simply means foods stores are unable to sell or food households no longer want. More stores are getting on board as volunteers are encouraged to contact stores in their area.

The site also allows non food items to be shared.

This is such a good idea to erradicate waste and ensure people's needs are being met.

Try it out, you may be helping the planet! I think it;s a brilliant idea, what do you think?
